Time for Trouble!

OMG I can't believe it's the end of February!!! Geeeeeze. Well let's see what's happened since my last update.



I had a dentist appointment on Monday. No cavities! yay me! I've never had one, can you believe it? The dentist and the hygeniest said my mouth was boring. lol.



Josh left for a whole month on Tuesday morning. :( It's only been a few days but I miss him like crazy. The kids do too. Sebastian goes from room to room yelling, "daddy? daddy!! daaaaaaaaaaaaaddyyyyyyyyyyyy!"



The rest of the week has been uneventful. I fixed the tear in my couch. You can't even tell there was a rip unless you're face is a couple of inches away from the couch, so needless to say, I"m extremely happy. The kids have been sick and I've been battling a tenatious headache.



Tomorrow I take my international driver's test! I'm not really nervous. I have to do a 2 hour orientation before the actual test. The instructor goes over pretty much what's on the test. I've studied the manual though.



On to the scrap goody. Only one layout to share right now.

It's a combo layout. I made it for my GD spot at Magistical Memories (the circle star chipboard), but I also made it for the OLW challenge. I had a blast at my best friend's wedding. I miss my friends so much. Even if I were back in the states, we're all so spread out. The photo was taken by my wonderful friend Milli. And she helped me come up with the title as well. LOL! Such wit.

That's all for now. Hope to have more to share soon.

It's DONE!

Geeeeze, this took forever to do, but I'm officially in love with the Urban Lily Secret Keepers. If you are not familiar with what they do, then you're in for a treat. The sides pull out, exposing a blank slate on the inside. I know, I should have taken a picture, but I'm in a bit of a rush and if I don't post this now, I probably won't have time to do it later. The bottom set is what I used, which is "Lush."

The front cover of the book states my theme...goals for 2008. When you pull apart this section, it talks about how we should set goals for ourselves and try our best to keep them. I forgot to take a picture of the back section, but it's pretty simple. It says "family resolutions" in the Heidi Swapp block stickers and has a few of the "Out on a Limb" Hambly rubons (the cute little birdies with polka dot wings) under that. The inside journaling lists our goals as a family. Take one weekend vacation every couple of months, at least ONE family portrait a month, etc etc.

Each card has little tabs by ScrapWorks that I've been hoarding for forever. i found them on clearance last year for less than a buck a package. Each card also has either our name or our initials...just to serve as a bit of uniformity (is that a word?)

There's a bit of a pattern for each card. The front serves as personal goals and the back part is reserved for goals that involve other people. For instance, my goals for the family include taking the kids out to the park more often, teaching them more things, telling Josh I love him more often, etc.

Ok, ok. Obviously the kids did not tell me their goals, so I set some for them. Anberlin for instance is going to work on her language development (with my help of course), and will learn her alphabet, learn to write it, and learn to write her whole name by the time 2008 is over. Her goals that involve us include learning the appropriate time to tattle (something she's been doing ALOT, especially at bed time), eating healthier (an overall goal for everyone), cleaning up when told.


Ahhh, my little man. His goals are pretty simple because he's only 2. He NEEDS to be potty trained by the end of this year, and he needs to learn how to share.

Well! I'm off to do errands. We have to be at the hospital Neustadt A.D. Aisch at 3 to meet with Sebastian's anesthesiolgist. I still need to pack, and prepare snacks and entertainment for him and I for the weekend. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but it is. I'm going to bring some scrap ish with me. Maybe I can get a few layouts done while he rests.
